A statement comes from the Au
burn (Neb.) Post, which we think

truthful that the writer in person vis
ited the huge orchard of Mrs. Jane
Loveless, near Auburn, which con
tains 3,000 trees, a large majority of
which are bending their heavily load
ed bows toward the earth, and the
fruit is scarcely halt matured. At a
very moderate estimate they will pro
duce an apple crop this year of not
less than 15,000 bushels in this "bar
ren wilderness of Nebraska." Mrs.
Loveless has a neat little fortune in
her apple crop alone, if she can dis
pose of them successfully. To save
shipment from eastern states.we doubt
not if she will givo Nebraska dealers
a chance to buy, that Bhe can sell every
bushel in the home market, at good
prices.
The Egyptian War,
Alexandria was guarded last week
by fiye thousand marines, occupyiug
seven tiiflercnt centers. Native po
lice are organizing to aid military de
tectives searching for suspicious per
sons. There was an attempt one
night last week to set fire to St
Mark's building, headquarters of thi
Americans in Alexandria.
A leading editorial iu the London
morning Post of a recent date says.
The behavior of the American admi
ral and his men at Alexandria is be
yond all praise. It is refreshing to
find a commander who is able and
willing, on his own account, to say
what he thinks and do what he says.
Last week the troop ship at Ports
month, England, was ordered to be
in ieadine6s. She will take 2000 men
to Egypt.
The wounded natives have been
paraded in Cairo, for the purpose of
exciting animosity.
The natives state that during the re
treat of Arabi Pasha, one of the shells
burst in the midst of a body of sol
diers aud killed twenty-five Dragoon
men. Arabi Pasha is still issuing orders
and making appointments in the Khe
dive's name. Arabi's forces on the
canal are estimated at 10,000, includ
ing the Bedouins, who gave adheslou
to Arabi but a few days ago. The
wounded Arabs from Alexandria
were sent to Cairo.
The British and French embassa
dors, have been instructed to submit
to the conference the question of pro
tection ot the Suez canal, aud propose
the execution of its decision shall be
entrusted to certain powers.
The news from Alexandria up to
the 20th inst., says DeLesscps has in
formed Seymour that passage of men-of-war
through the Suez canal consti
tutes a breach of its neutrality.
The force of Arabi Pasha is increas
ing. He is gaining his influence be
cause of the delay of British troops.
His scouts are seven miles from Alex
andria. The porte sent imperative orders to
Arabi Pashi not to make a movement.
Arabi Pashi is trying to establish re
lations with Arabs in Tripoli.
The conference which met the other
day was chiefly to consider temporary
measures for the security of the Suez
canal. Tho idea which found most
favor was that protection of it should
be entrusted to England and France
in conjunction with a third power.
It is stated that several regiments
of militia have voluntered for service,
and tho war office is considering the
question of utilizing them for garri
son duty at Malta and Gibraltar.
DeLcsseps had arrived at Alexan
dria aud had an interview witli Khe
dive. Difficulty in restoring order
continues. Lord Charles Baredfoot
is taking every precaution against an
outbreak. He has issued notice that
he will make no distinction between
Europeans and natives. Tho custom
houc has reopened.
The British were preparing to dam
the Mahmondih canal in order to
prevent the water running ofl if Arabi
I stopped the supply. Arabi was ap
parently beforehand with that aud
had diverted the water from the
canal. It was estimated there was
sufficient fresh water in Alexandria
to last ten days.
Arabi's line extends from Lake
Marctos to Abukair. Having got
some tools he is now making works.
We are iu trepidation about water.
Enquiries are making about conden
bers. Vessel supply is ordered here
from Port Said. They will be able to
supply water for the troops.
One hundred of Arabi's soldiers
deserted him the other day and came
to Alexandria.
The water was still flowing on the
20th in the fresh water canal, but exit
from the canal into the sea is being
blocked by a putty of marines, so that
the water below the point whereat
Arabi cut it will bo retained.
Parties engaged in murdering dur
ing the bombardment of the city,.will
probably be shot by Egypt iau troops.
It is probable that such executions
will continue for some time, as every
day brings similar cases.
Alexandria.
The Khedive has recently issued a
mandate deposing Arabi Bey, aud
proclaiming him a rebel.
The recent fighting at the gates of
Alexandria is isolated. No heavy
fighting has taken place. Numbers
of Arabi's troops have appeared,
and the marines have had some skir
mishes with them, but without 6erious
casualties. The main body of Arabi's
army continue in camp at Daman
hour. Admiral Seymour's scouts last
week brought him information that a
largo body of troops belonging to
Arabi's army is encamped twenty
miles from the city. Hostile demon
strations have already been made,
aud an attack is apprehended. The
remainder of Arabi's army are disaf
fected. The latest news from an actual in
spection of the city discloses the fact
that one half of the European quarter
of the city has been destroyed.
Bunks were not burned nor pillaged,
aud hospitals were untounched. A
number of fresh fires were started in
the city one day last week, but the
military succeeded in extinguishing
them before any serious damage was
uoue. several ivraus wno were
caught plundering houses were sen
tenced to be publicly whipped, ai.d
five men charged with murder were
executed on Place Mohomct. Great
distress prevails in the city, and star
vation threatens houseless thousands.
At a council of the French ministry
held one evening last week it was de
cided to join England in protection of
the Suez canal.
Under recent date it is stated that
Admiral Seymour telegraphed to
London that the Americans had lan
ded marines and re-established the
American consulate.
The fires in Alexandria are subsid
ing, having ucarly exhausted its food.

The Omaha Republican says "two

We are informed by a good author
ity that the politicians of Lincoln are
already looking after the possibilities
of a capitol appropriation at the next
session of the legislature. Of course
they are. When were they ever
known to be without a large demaud
on the state treasury ? Having now
had big appropriations for the two
wings they will naturally want a still
larger one for the body, and their
success has been so little interfered
with heretofore that everybody will
expect tho inevitable hereafter. The
people of Lincoln, however, especially
the business men, who have hereto
fore (if reports are true) had to "come
down" to the lobby, with their tens,
hundreds and thousands of dollars,
ought to demand a reduction of rates.
The percentages have been too large.
Many farmers have a hesitancy
about selling their cream to the
creameries, but they are, according to
all reports, fast learning that it is
about the correct thing to thu9 dis
pose of their milk. It pays fully as
well, if uot better, than to attempt to
make' butter on a small scale, and it
relieves the good housewife of a heap
of hard work aud vexation of spirit.
Some farmers have been experiment
ing in this matter to determine satis
factorily for themselves the best plan
to pursue, and all accounts thus far
coming under our notice have been
in favor of selling the milk. Evi
dence is not wantiug in those com
munities where creameries have been
long established to show that the
farmer is largely benefited by them.
It is demonstrated in hundreds of
instances in our neighboring state of
Iowa, where these institutions have
long been in operation, and it will
be shown just as conclusively iu this
state in coming years. The creamery
business in Nebraska is comparative
ly in its infancy, but the Industry is
rapidly coming to the front, and the
time is uot far distant when produc
ers, if they have any doubts about the
most profitable channel through
which to utilize their milk, will doubt
no more. Let the work of establish
ing creameries go on, and while they
are sure to prove profitable to -the
men who conduct them, they will
likewise be good institutions for those
upon whom tney reiy ior tne raw

are felt in regard to the corn crop,
that cereal being unusually behind

Mr. John Elliott from Omaha made
a little visit to his. friends and neigh
bors a- few days ago. He told of a
man in Omaha, who, to obtain a loan
of $1000 to go into business, mort
gaged his property and then went into
a gambling den and spent the $1000,
and iu view of such facts, Mr. Editor,
your correspondent is astonished that
any man can blame the Journal for
trying to explode the whole gambling
concern in your city. One should
think every father and mother, every
wife at least should thank you for
your decided stand in that respect.

The funeral of Mrs, Lincoln took
place on the morning of Jul' 19th,
'82, in the presence of a very large at
tendance. Her remains were deposi
ted beside her husband.
The services were brief, consisting
of prayer by Revs. L. R. O. Post and
T. A. Parker; sermon by Rev. J. A.
Reid. The pall-bearers were Gov
Cullom, Judge L II. Fresh, Gen. J.

Hay, Col. John Williams, Hon. S. U.
Jones, Hon. J. C. Conkling and Capt.

The time for holdiug conventions is
rapidly approachiug. We trust that
the claims of individual office-seekers
from congressmen down, will not be
the all-absorbing topic of thought.
The party should control the office
seeker and not the office-seeker the
party. Let good, fair representative
men be chosen for convention aud
caucus and let them go untrammelled,
so that they shall act on their own re
sponsibility and according to the dic
tates of the thinking and intelligent
men of the party. No man is so de
serving of contempt as the office-seeker
who will resort to all the low, mean
devices known in politics to the party
on which he is a leech. Gazette-Journal.
The other night as the traiu was
leaving Blair two boyB were sitting
on the platform with their legs hang

them to move. One of the boys obey

caught by the board projecting from
tho mail car. His left leg was terribly
mangled and must be amputated. The
boy's name is Louis Hester.
